The award-winning musical theatre blockbuster WICKED has just announced it will thrillify Queensland audiences when it travels to Brisbane as part of the 10th Anniversary tour early next year.
WICKED Australian Co-Producer John Frost announced WICKED will open at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre on 15 February 2015 for a strictly limited season, and tickets are on sale now.
The show is currently on stage in Melbourne and heads to Sydney on 20 September .
“I’m thrilled we’re able to bring WICKED back to Brisbane as part of its 10th anniversary tour,” said John Frost. “This is one of the most lavish musical productions to have ever toured Australia, the full Broadway experience. You can see every dollar spent on the magnificent sets and lush costumes, a feast for the eye and the ear.
When WICKED opened on Broadway, it worked its magic on critics and audiences alike. Winner of over 90 major awards including the Grammy Award, three Tony Awards and six Helpmann® Awards including Best Musical, WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, WICKED has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman. The production features musical staging by Wayne Cilento and is directed by Lisa Leguillou, based on the original direction by Joe Mantello. WICKED is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
